In the 9 years I played FFXI i only got to like level 73 whm partly because i didnt have the time to dedicate like everyone else who seemed to be on 24 hours but I also like to explore and just socialize. All my friends where always 10 steps ahead of me. The majority of people always have and will finish the content before me. Look at all the people that rush to 50 ASAP and then just run around basically saying "look at me im super cool and rank 50 mwa hahahaha", Happens all the time.

BTW i just wanted to mention i think it was rinsui or renshi that mentioned when i hit 300 posts my heart will explode, i think it did, and now i'm dead.
Looking at the future, the game should pivot itself on not only content but enjoyable content that gamers would enjoy replaying. Relying entirely "new" content especially in MMOs is more of the same just a new skin. This is fine but there should be gameplay mechanics that are dynamic enough to make each experience different and enjoyable so that gamers are willing to part take of these quests,leves (whatever you want to call) more than just once. So that whether you "finish" the game or not you are still interested in playing because its simply fun. It seems as though many are forgetting the reason we play games. Its for fun. Well thats the reason I play....... maybe different for others, hopefully others don't play for displeasure.
